    i booked leeds to salou for two nights mid may with ryanair for £30 return and apt for 2 nts..total £57....Ryanair should have deals on tomorrow maybe for june....only taking a 10 kg bag...used it last time for two weeks around europe in jan no prob....used hotels4u...also agoda and booking.com....but there are loads...but up to you if you do package or your own plan....i always use my own...dont forget ehic card.
    we are two girls who live in different cities so organising to meet up to share luggage is a main issue and my friend isnt a member of the MSE crew she doesnt really use vouchers etc lol!

    i have always made my own package up and it comes up cheaper i think the main problem is where to go.......:rotfl:

    I find cheap flights on Skyscanner, then build a hotel + flight package on Travel Republic or Low Cost Holidays. For that week there are flights from MAN to Faro for £65 (transfer to Albufeira for somewhere with a bit of nightlife), or Tenerife/ Majorca/ Alicante etc are about £100. You've got luggage on top of that - but you can either just take hand luggage, or share a case?
    wow particularly interested in this :beer:what date did you find the faro flights?? is albugeira good? have you been?? x x

    Easyjet holidays might give you some ideas (then price up doing the flights then accommodation separately, see if it saves you some money) ie Sunday 9th June for a week to s/c aparts in Lloret de Mar, less than £200 each (you will have hold baggage and transfers to add on though).

    http://holidays.easyjet.com/HolidayResults.aspx

    this is just the first area I clicked on from Liverpool airport on the Easyjet holidays site, you might find more in the same kind of price range :).

    Have you been to lloret de mar? ive never heard of it but a quick google didnt sugget must in terms of night life... maybe i will look into it more. we are both 25 so want to be able to go out at night but not to keen on the whole 'lets have it large in magaluf when im 18 vibe' saying that for the right price we would go to magaluf area and simply not go to the 'strip' . Sunshine, a book, cocktails and a few bars is all we need - not surrounded by kids or too many OAPS:rotfl:!

    Easyjet holidays is operated by lowcostholidays, so you may as well go straight to them and save a bit more!! Same applies to lastminute.com.

    Hi Indigo,

    No, I've never been to Lloret - I was just quickly looking for you for what was in your budget. I found this though -

    there are bars and a beach - what more could you want ;).
